I met John about 7 years ago when I started working with MRES. Immediately I was impressed by John because he always had a story to brighten your day!. He was truly an amazing entrepreneur and will be greatly missed! I still smile when I think of him, a gentle giant indeed.

I first got to know John as a 16 year old, riding my bike to the Morreale office after school as a file clerk (my first job). He made a tremendous impact on me as a young professional, but it was many years before I realized how much of a true legend he was in the relocation industry. I feel so grateful to have known John, especially now understanding the profound impact he had on so many others. What I’ll remember about John is his signature wit and the way he could tell jokes and stories like no other.

John always had a kind word to say when he saw you and you never parted ways without him giving you some great advice. He was truly one of kind and will be missed by many. My thoughts and prayers are with the Morreale family.

I was introduced in the mid 90's to John F. by one of his closest friends, Art Stoddard. I got to know John and JC over the years. A consummate professional who truly is an industry icon within the relocation management industry. He will be missed by all. Thoughts and prayer to the entire Morreale family.

I worked at MRES and the law firm when I was in college (about 20 years ago). I didn't know John F. well, but he always made me feel welcome and valued. One of my favorite memories of him was when overheard a male employee say something ridiculous to me about girls not understanding sports cars. John F. immediately sent me out on an errand and asked me to take his car (a brand new jaguar convertible) while looking pointedly at the young man.
